“The Elephant Whisperers” reminds us that we do not deserve animals: The endearing documentary (a rare recent hit from Netflix) explores the life of a South Indian couple — Bomman and Bellie — who spend three years caring for a baby elephant called Raghu at a wildlife sanctuary in India. In a manner almost reminiscent of an old family home movie, the documentary shows us heartwarming scenes of baby elephants comforting the couple, or with one of the elephants playing football with the children of the community, reminding us that not a whole separates animals and humans. The 41-minute long feature was released last December, and snagged an Oscar in the documentary short film category. The documentary features breathtaking visuals, heartwarming empathy, and of course, gigantic elephant cuteness.
